Bolivian president stuck in Austria

, July 3, 2013

Bolivian President Evo Morales addresses a news conference at the Vienna International Airport in Schwechat on July 3. Morales said on Wednesday he was awaiting Spanish permission to fly home through its airspace after he refused Madrid's request to inspect his plane following its diversion to Vienna, Austria. France and Portugal abruptly cancelled air permits for Morales' plane en route from Moscow on Tuesday, apparently due to fears fugitive ex-US spy agency contractor Edward Snowden could be on board. Bolivian and Austrian officials denied this. - Reuters/Heinz-Peter Bader
